It also verifies the impact of PNPB on occupation and income rate of farmers participating in the projects of production of biodiesel through field research carried out on 93 family farms participating in projects already implemented in the State of Goiás. The choice of producers was made at random from a list of all producers who had already gone through a complete cycle of production and stretched across 33 municipalities in the second half of 2007. The survey data was obtained through a closed-ended questionnaire which was designed to ascertain: 1) the increase of occupation and income regarding producers participating in the projects, 2) ways of including these farmers into the programme, 3) technical assistance offered to them (according to the guidelines of the programme) and 4) the evaluation of the programme by participating farmers. The SPSS software was used for processing and data analysis. The results show that most of the objectives of the programme, such as generation of occupation and income by family farming, are being achieved. 2010 artículo científico 1517-3879 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=87815121002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=878 Organizações Rurais & Agroindustriais application/pdf Universidade Federal de Lavras Organizações Rurais & Agroindustriais (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.12
